Abstract

A comparative study of the viscoelastic properties of melts of vinyl acetate-vinyl alcohol copolymers with equimolar compositions characterized by different statistical distributions of chain units has been performed. It has been shown that the principle of temperature-frequency superposition is obeyed by copolymers close to a random copolymer, but is violated by copolymers with the block distribution of units. Unlike amorphous random copolymers, a multiblock copolymer is characterized by weak crystallinity, the absence of the relaxation flow state, and a more pronounced tendency to form interchain hydrogen bonds both between two hydroxyl groups and between hydroxyl and ester groups.
